  1. The observed result of the independent variable being manipulated DEPENDENT VARIABLE

  2. The variable representing the value being manipulated or changed INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

  3. A large volume of air that has nearly the same temperature and humidity at different locations at the same altitude. AIR MASS

  4. The force of air molecules pushing on an area AIR PRESSURE

  5. A heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration CARBON DIOXIDE

  6. Gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, which absorb and give off infrared radiation as part of the Greenhouse Effect GREENHOUSE GASES

  7. The amount of water vapor in the air HUMIDITY

  8. A tropical low-pressure system with winds of 74 mph + HURRICANE

  9. Coldest layer; meteors burn up here MESOSPHERE

  10. A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas; 78% of atmosphere NITROGEN

  11. A colorless, odorless, tasteless nonflammable gas; 21% of atmosphere OXYGEN

  12. A gas molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms OZONE

  13. Energy that travels across distances as certain types of waves RADIATION

  14. Clear, dry layer; contains Ozone layer STRATOSPHERE

  15. The transfer of heat energy from one substance to another through direct contact CONDUCTION

  16. Hottest layer of the atmosphere where the air is very thin, but can feel cold THERMOSPHERE

  17. The transfer of energy from place to place by the motion of heated gas or liquid CONVECTION

  18. A violently rotating column of air stretching from a cloud to the ground TORNADOES

  19. We live here; weather occurs here; contains 80% of the atmosphere’s mass TROPOSPHERE

  20. The influence of Earth’s rotation on objects that move over Earth CORIOLIS EFFECT

  21. Water in its gaseous state; totally invisible WATER VAPOR

  22. The process by which certain gases in a planet’s atmosphere absorb and emit infrared radiation, resulting in an increase in surface temperature GREENHOUSE EFFECT

  23. The rate at which velocity changes over time ACCELERATION

  24. A machine that is made up of two or more simple machines COMPOUND MACHINES

  25. The ability to do work or to cause a change ENERGY

  26. A push or pull; something that changes the motion of an object FORCE

  27. A force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact FRICTION

  28. The force that objects exert on each other because of their masses GRAVITY

  29. The resistance of an object to a change in the speed or the direction of its motion INERTIA

  30. The energy of motion KINETIC ENERGY

  31. A body, as a piece of iron or steel that possesses the property of attracting certain substances, as iron MAGNET

  32. The number of times a machine multiplies the input force; output force divided by input force MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE

  33. A combination of the kinetic energy and potential energy an object has MECHANICAL ENERGY

  34. A change of position over time MOTION

  35. A scientific law stating that objects at rest remain at rest, and objects in motion remain in motion with the same velocity, unless acted on by an unbalanced forced NEWTON’S FIRST LAW

  36. A scientific law stating that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass NEWTON’S SECOND LAW

  37. A scientific law stating that every time one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force that is equal in size and opposite in direction back on the first object NEWTON’S THIRD LAW

  38. Stored energy; the energy an object has due to its position, molecular arrangement, or chemical composition POTENTIAL ENERGY

  39. A location to which another location is compared REFERENCE POINT

  40. One of the basic machines on which all other mechanical machines are based SIMPLE MACHINES

  41. A measure of how fast something moves through a particular distance over a definite time period; distance divided by time SPEED

  42. Speed in a specific direction VELOCITY

  43. The use of force to move an object over a distance WORK

  44. A condition needed for health and functioning in which an organism or cell maintains a relatively stable internal environment HOMEOSTASIS

  45. The smallest unit that is able to perform the basic functions of life CELL

  46. Outer boundary of the cytoplasm and the environment outside; semi-permeable CELL MEMBRANE

  47. Protective outer covering, outside of the cell membrane; plant cells only CELL WALL

  48. Fluid that fills cell (gelatin-like) in which many organelles are found; carries out the work of the cell CYTOPLASM

  49. Contains genetic material a cell needs to reproduce and function; controls eating, movement, etc… - directs all activities NUCLEUS
